This book covers the Mastership of A. C. Benson and is a record of College Meetings, apparently originating as agenda notes, together with notes on entrance candidates.

From 1781 to 1971 there was a series of Order Books which contained a record of the 'Order' of the Governing Body. They were written during the Governing Body Meetings and signed by the Fellows at the end of the meeting.
From 1911 onwards a separate series of Minute Books was kept to record discussions and decisions of the Governing Body.

At a meeting on 18 February 1971 the Governing Body agreed that extracts from the Minutes would no longer be pasted into the Order Books. They were then used to record the appointment of Fellows, Honorary Fellows, Masters, and Scholars.

For the previous Order Book containing appointments from 1971-1979 see MCGB/4/2/3.
